Hmmm, I guess I should read up on the finger printing thing. Apparently my fetal experience was stressful! Go figure my mom is a bit of a drama queen. lol
....

I only have two matching sets! And for being a Warrior and having only two arches? What does that mean? lol More reading to do!

Are you working from a SWAMI? I tested myself Warrior in the Genotype book even though I identified a lot with Explorer. When I went to Dr. D, he said my mom must have been doing summersaults while she was pregnant. Big mismatches, too. Turns out Explorer. Mom said she was so happy to be pregnant, it was an "easy, happy time" however, found out later she had ulcerative collitis and was on a med in her first trimester. May be the reason?

Might be worth doing a SWAMI with as much info as you can get if you haven't already.

Wow...a A1 Secretor Explorer! Who knew?    I've never seen one. All of the A's I've seen here are Non secretors who are Explorers.  It really pays to go see Dr. D!  You would have been following the Warrior diet..Warriors have the strictest diet out of all the genotypes...When I went to see him to get genotyped, I , duh, thought I'd be getting a bigger menu of food choices...I got less... I'm afraid to go back to him. He might take more food away...lol..

Do you find the lunulas (half moons) in nails indicate good your metabolism? If lunulas are hidden, metabolism is not so fast and vice versa?

You certainly have discussed this other threads, so I apologize. What improves metabolism for relatively young Warriors that are quite in a normal shape but not thin anymore? Of course the diet, but what foods are usually best in that?

I haven't SwamiX'ed myself yet. I will do that sometime after I give birth to my son, which will happen in the next couple weeks. I will probably order the software in the next month or so.

I talked to my mom about her experiences during my pregnancy. lol Go figure... she was working as a Psychiatric Nurse in a Psych Hospital. haha I shouldn't find it so funny. But I do! No wonder I'm so weird!

I GTD'ed myself with the info in the book when I bought the book. Than I bought the GT kit and just completed it yesterday. It says I'm a Warrior.  It eliminated the possibility of me being an Explorer really quickly due to my torso and leg measurements. I would love to go get analyzed by Dr. D himself but having a new born to deal with pretty soon and being a single mom on top of that... I doubt I'll be making it across the continent anytime soon for any reason. lol

I do feel really great on the Warrior diet though. I also felt great on the A type diet too and lost a lot of weight. So I'll just stick with what I'm doing. Who knows, within a year and all the weight loss that's going to happen I could end up being typed as a totally different GT all together. I'll just have to retest myself every once in awhile. With the SwamiX that should be easier too.

Nice.  

I don't think I got a bigger list, just refined. Switched up. Still lots of planning to do.
Whatever works, you know.

Don't have a direct answer for that, but diamond beneficials, if I recall correctly, help with normalizing weight and helping metabolism. Anyone else...?

I fingerprinted at over three years ago at the Crossville conference and never did it again. I just took whoevers word for it on my prints.

It has taken me this long to look at my own prints even though I have all the supplies. No white lines

I think I have one of everything..                  

Right hand                                           Left Hand
Thumb  Ulnar Loop                           Thumb   Ulnar Loop
Index    Arch                                     Index    Radial Loop
Middle  Ulnar Loop                            Middle  Ulnar Loop
                                                        Ring      Arch

Ring  Accidental Whorl?
(this one is weird it is an arch with a ball on top)                      


Pinky    Ulnar loop                             Pinky Ulnar Loop

So now I understand why I am so odd..

My friend Lorraine SWAMI'ed by Dr. D is the same as you Angela

We are diverse and wonderfully made.

Nice thing about SWAMI is that it's individualized. Afterward, my husband was -- well, what are you? The simple answer, I'm me.

Fit into that broad "Explorer" group too.

Like Larry said, "We are all individuals" and like Eric quoted Sister Sledge "We are family"

A little Explorerish there, Andrea, maybe that's why I like you so much, sista  

I and my mother have many whorls (I have 8 and I recall mother also has, at least very near to that). We both are O type. Fingerprint patterns can without a doubt be inherited different way than blood type - I suspect my maternal grandparents were B and A type.
